    Eek, don't be so generous :D. The most I got from my folks was driving lessons and added to the insurance on their Volvo 440 (which I crashed).

    I've toyed with the idea of letting go of mine...

    Go on then, who's left, who's new?
    I know Ste's still got his. Fry's is still there, just perpetually garaged.

    Morning. Yeah, those links are dead, along with probably a lot of that FAQ stuff as it's either ancient or the embedded files were wiped.

    ECU Self-learn values

    Hi folks,
    has anyone ever glanced at the self-learn value you get via Consult?

    The S15 has no speedo on the gearbox. Instead the ABS computer takes the speed (I presume from the rear sensor) and feeds it to the dashboard.
    Is that link above working? I should look into this as...

    I don't know about elsewhere, but I seem to go through a lot of bushes on all my cars around here, probably thanks to the bumps and potholes.

    I work in Newcastle Uni :-D.
    Not that I'd ever try and drive to work and park there (too much hassle and too expensive).

    To be honest, life's got so busy I faded away from meets :-(. Still that...

    Who's still around the Newcastle area?

    As things have gradually quietened down, just wondering who's still got a 200SX/Silvia etc?

    A few weeks ago I saw a maroon (I think) pre-facelift S13 near International Paint in Gateshead :eek:

    I enquired about front window trim from Nissan a few years ago (my windows rattle when I shut the door) and it was something like £300, either a side or both, but stupid anyway. Should’ve gone to...

    in the S15, there is no 'ignitior chip' as they integrated the transistors into the coil packs. Maybe your car is some late model with S15 coil packs?

    Maybe times have changed, but I thought it was fair to expect Ford to be better made than the Fiats and Alfas. They're hardly a budget manufacturer and they seem to win enough awards and 5/5 reviews..
